Chapter 315 Rationality
[Water Devouring Greedy Slaughter], trapped in Xu Sixing's package, was already infinitely weak.
However, he has not given up showing off his fangs.
Its mountain-like body suddenly disintegrated into a dark green, corrosive liquid.
It tumbled within Xu Si's Star Guide, like a bottle of restless, highly toxic potion.
Starlight swirled on the surface of the star, like the toughest fishing net, tightly locking in this pool of terrifyingly corrosive liquid.
However, Xu Si could sense that the energy consumption of the Star Guide was accelerating.
This guy's sudden counterattack isn't so easy to deal with.
Xu Si hovered high in the sky, his starry eyes icy cold.
"Even after all this, you're still not settling down?"
Today was quite a close call, leaving Xu Si feeling somewhat shaken.
"Starburst·turbulence"
As Xu Si finished speaking, countless delicate scarlet spheres gradually seeped out from the Star Guide, and began to swirl wildly within it, using the Star Guide as its boundary.
In an instant, the surging waves of the [Water Devouring Greedy Slaughter] were shattered into pieces.
Meanwhile, Star Guide seems to have become a new kind of eerie ball mill, and [Water Devouring Greedy Slaughter] is being worn away little by little.
Having encountered so many bizarre occurrences of this type, Xu Si couldn't help but start thinking of a solution.
The agonizing screams at that moment proved the reliability of Xu Si's methods.
"Starburst Turbulence" is like countless fine, scarlet grinding wheels, spinning wildly, cutting, and grinding within the cage formed by the star pull.
Each impact stirred up large clumps of dark green, putrid matter.
These mixtures of venom and flesh, formed from the disintegration of the [Water-Eating Greedy Slaughter]'s body, sizzled and rapidly dissipated into nothingness as they were washed away by the destructive energy.
Xu Si hovered high in the sky, his dark red cloak fluttering in the surging wind.
Xu Sixing coldly watched the one-sided "death by a thousand cuts" taking place below in the Starlight Cage.
He could clearly sense that the enormous and twisted life force of [Water Devouring Greedy Slaughter] was dissipating at an alarming rate.
The terrifying "abnormal self-healing" finally showed signs of fatigue under such continuous and high-intensity energy depletion.
Its frantic transformation between solid and liquid was interrupted time and time again; the newly sprouted buds were completely crushed as soon as they emerged, and the turbid flow that filled them evaporated before it could solidify.
Not far away, even the crows turned pale at the sight and kept their distance even further.
"Gurgle... Roar...!"
Without the support of the [Water Devouring Greedy Slaughter], the deep pool fell into utter stillness.
Xu Si slightly tightened his fingers, causing the Star Guiding Cage to shrink further, and the rotation speed and energy density of the internal "turbulence" increased once again!
The glaring scarlet and the murky dark green clashed and annihilated each other fiercely, emitting a continuous series of low, booming sounds.
"Boom!" The Devouring Water Greedy Butcher tried to make a last-ditch effort with its remaining energy, but in the end it only turned into a "bag" of stinking water.
[Purify Level 5 Eerie Specter - Water-Devouring Greedy Slaughter, Purification Points +16000]
[Remaining Purification Points: 112770]
Finally, the system notification sounded in Xu Si's mind.
Meanwhile, the crows scrambled and tumbled as they flew hastily to the convoy to report the good news.
Almost simultaneously, the dark green "pool" below changed again, its color turning from green to clear, and then clear spring water even emerged.
Within the Star Guide, as the scarlet sphere was endlessly polished, nothing remained except for a strangely dropped item.
As soon as the item was obtained, the starlight suddenly dissipated, and glitter flakes slowly drifted down in the air, like a brief, blood-red snowfall.
However, Xu Si looked at the [Sword of Punishment] in his hand and had mixed feelings. He had used the sword to cut through a lot of poisonous saliva during the battle, but now it was corroded beyond recognition.
Even the ranking of rare items is plummeting.
Xu Si slowly landed at the edge of the broken river channel, his star-like eyes sweeping over the strangely dropped newly acquired item in his palm.
A fist-sized, sticky substance that constantly shifts between dark green and murky black, with a texture similar to chewing gum.
[Strange Drop Detected: Source of Corruption]
[Item Characteristics: Aquatic Assimilation, Decay and Corrosion, Metamorphic Proliferation]
[Compatible Upgrade Option 1: Corrupted Human Sequence Enhancement Potion]
[Estimated Purification Points Consumption: 1000]
[Upgradeable Option 2: Rare Item - Poison Saliva]

[Estimated Purification Points Consumption: 3100]
[Upgrade Option 3: Enhance the Artifact - Sword of Punishment]
[Description: The more insidious, the more just; the more just, the more insidious. (Note: When good can be evil, evil can also be good!)]
[Estimated Purification Points Consumption: 5200]
[Recommended for use with pierced rutilated quartz and rotten quartz]
【Rotten Swamp】is one of the two strange drops obtained by Xu Si when he killed the 【Rotten Swamp Black Salamander】 while saving the Jingzhe Caravan.
The other item, called the "Black Salamander Spine," is a spine that resembles a whip, but it's not of much use to Xu Si.
Xu Si's gaze couldn't help but show a moment of disappointment.
The bizarre drop was indeed unpredictable; I had thought it would retain the "self-healing" property.
Did I not expect that I would be given the "abnormal proliferation" characteristic? Is it the proliferation I imagined?
Looking at the [Sword of Punishment] in his hand, which had dropped to 1374th in the rankings, Xu Si's gaze was somewhat complicated.
He then retrieved the other two strange items that had fallen from the dimensional space.
"System, merge and upgrade 'Source of Corruption,' 'Piercing Crystal,' 'Corruption Swamp,' and 'Sword of Punishment.'"
[Feasibility detected. Requires an additional 1800 purification points. Confirm?]
"confirm."
[Purification Points -7000, Remaining Purification Points: 105770]
[In progress with artifact fusion and upgrade, estimated time: 45 minutes]
The upgrade begins simultaneously.
The gelatinous substance in Xu Si's left hand and the bubbly mud.
It actually retracted directly into the scabbard of the [Sword of Punishment], like a lubricant injected into it.
The [Piercing Crystal] even transformed into crystals as thin as a hair, enveloping the entire longsword.
Xu Si stood on the rocks at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the surging spring water. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before the river was filled up again.
"Nirvana, inform the convoy: The threat has been eliminated; you may proceed. There is a cliff ahead."
"Instructions have been delivered."
This is the first level 5 anomaly that Xu Si has purified.
Overall, there is still a high degree of randomness involved.
If this guy hadn't chosen to jump into the air in his true form and confront me head-on, I probably wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.
Xu Si had already prepared to retreat at high altitude, but unexpectedly, [Water Devourer] pulled off a major attack.
Even if this guy didn't exactly walk right into a trap, he still managed to capsize in a ditch.
Even Xu Si could see both rationality and irrationality in him.
This was something he had never seen in any other low-level strange creatures before.
The [Viphantom] that intended to keep them captive also seemed to exhibit a high degree of rationality.
As for anything higher, that is the supreme being who speaks in the desert.
Therefore, as the level of their strangeness increases, their rationality and wisdom also increase.
They are no longer those bizarre beings that only know how to attack humans.
